Hi all who actually care about me and look at my news. But I was planning on getting the avatar chat out sooner than this. But I ran into some problem and took a 2 week break. Now I'm back to it and am solving the problems.

The main problem really was speed. I realized that when I had more than 4 clients sending simultaneously and constantly sending data that the server started to strain/overload. Now that I'm back to it I have almost got back to where I was before. Because I had to rework my whole data sending process for sending updates for a player it would turn out that I had to go backwards.

I will make another list of what isn't done.

ALL OF THIS IS NOT DONE:

1. Check to see if a name is already logged in.

2. Still haven't entirely made a saving process.

3. Still need to make a little modification to the way you chat

4. I need to finish the friends list

5. I need to make the entire room list and room creation/deletion (will be pretty much the same as friends list

6. Any form of banning, Username banning will be easy, IP banning... I think I know how to do it

7. Still haven't gotten to anti-cheating system

THINGS I SAID BEFORE THAT CAN'T/WON'T BE DONE:

1. Webcam chat is impossible

2. I don't really think a chat-log is necessary

I won't be going over what is done because nothing new really is done since last news post

That pretty much covers it all.

I personally don't like how long its taking at all, I am very impatient after all.

But I feel like adding a picture of the actual in chat area. Sorry for it looking so grey and dull. I am going to attempt to add some fair graphics too. And if I don't, don't worry I can always update it.

And because I feel like adding this one last part. I haven't added even three designs for avatars quite yet. But I'm getting to avatar design and animation right after this post. Those of you who played the avatar chat from before, expect drool boy to be back and better than ever.

Edit: Crud I can't add the image its too big.
